Malk and Coconut Cult launch new Malk Shake flavored yogurt
Two beloved dairy-free brands, Malk and Coconut Cult, have teamed up to create a new, exciting product: Vanilla Malk Shake yogurt. The product’s creamy, velvety texture comes from Coconut Cult’s probiotic yogurt and Malk’s new organic coconut milk. According to Coconut Cult, the new yogurt “delivers classic milkshake flavor with the functional power of super-live probiotics.” Right now, it’s available directly from Coconut Cult, but it’s heading to Whole Foods Markets very soon.
Califia Farms
Califia Farms launches its first soy milk
Califia Farms has long been a dairy-free pioneer. It’s known for its creamy almond and oat milk blends, as well as its range of bottled cold brews in flavors like mocha and caramel. Historically, the California brand has steered clear of soy milk, but not anymore. The brand recently launched its first-ever organic soy milk, which is made with just three ingredients (organic soybeans, water, and sea salt) and packs eight grams of protein per serving. The new product is part of Califia Farms’ Simple & Organic platform, and was released alongside two new creamers: Simple & Organic Sweet Crème and Simple & Organic Salted Caramel.
“Introducing soy milk bolsters the power of choice for our customers who have resonated with more pantry-friendly options,” said Suzanne Ginestro, Chief Marketing Officer at Califia Farms.
“Our goal has always been to offer more plant-based choices that fit different lifestyles and taste preferences. Soy has seen an eight percent consumption boost amongst Gen Z, citing protein-benefits; we’re excited to offer soy milk drinkers a new, premium, protein-packed, and simple option that captures Califia’s irresistible goodness.”
